How to Build a Fort

Building a fort is like a quintessential childhood experience! I fondly remember tearing through my Mom’s stash of sheets and blankets with the hopes of turning them into the walls and ceiling of my fortress. I spent many hours hidden away reading books and planning projects with my friends and siblings. I loved it so much that I’ve been building blanket forts with my children ever since they were big enough to do so! Learn how to build a fort with my tips and tricks below:

Before you learn how to build a fort, you’ll need a few of these things. Having them handy will make your fort look great:

– chairs or coatracks (these items will help keep the blankets propped up, and they’ll provide you with cool “rooms”)

-sheets and heavier blankets (the more you can find, the better and bigger your fort could be)
